Chapter 393 The Strongest Dark Horse: The Final Box Office of Those Years
"The children are asleep"
At home, Su Yang was busy in the small study in his room. Seeing Qin Shuyao walk in, he looked up and asked with a smile.
"Yeah, I just slept. I was energetic all day, just like I was in battle."
Qin Shuyao came to Su Yang with a smile. Su Yang took Qin Shuyao and pulled her into his arms. Qin Shuyao lay in Su Yang's arms, one hand hooked around Su Yang's neck, enjoying the tenderness Su Yang brought her.
Qin Shuyao's life is pretty leisurely these days. She spends most of her time at home taking care of her children, occasionally participating in shows, and releasing a single every once in a while to maintain her popularity.
Qin Shuyao's mentality has also changed. She no longer has the fighting spirit she once had. She now feels comfortable staying at home with her children and enjoying the joy of family life.
"What else to write?"
Qin Shuyao, lying in Su Yang's arms, looked at the script on Su Yang's computer and couldn't help asking curiously.
"A costume drama. Mr. Ye from Datang Entertainment contacted me today..."
Su Yang told Qin Shuyao what happened today. However, Qin Shuyao was not surprised because she had known about the relationship between Ye Zhengfang and Tang Qing for a long time.
"Oh, let's cooperate if we can. Mr. Ye is a very good person. In fact, many of my problems over the years were settled by Mr. Ye behind the scenes."
Qin Shuyao said with a smile, and Su Yang nodded. Since he had helped his wife, he would cooperate more in the future.
"By the way, wife, there are several good roles in this drama. Are you interested in trying them?"
Su Yang said with a smile, and Qin Shuyao became interested when she heard Su Yang's words. In fact, Qin Shuyao sometimes felt quite bored during this period.
"Okay, I'll take a look at the script when you finish writing it. I'll see if there's a character I like..."
Qin Shuyao nodded, but her eyes were blurry. Su Yang was playing tricks with his hands at this moment, and soon the temperature in the room rose. Su Yang's writing journey tonight officially ended.
It was late at night, and looking at Qin Shuyao sleeping beside him with a smile on her face, Su Yang smiled slightly and then entered the artist class.
"I should be able to get the Gold Medal today!"
Su Yang was looking forward to it. Ever since he won the Gold Medal for Singing, Su Yang has devoted most of his energy to directing courses. Now, even the actors' singing performances have been greatly reduced.
After such a long period of study, today was the last class of the advanced course. Su Yang was looking forward to receiving the Gold Medal for Director.
The study officially began, and Su Yang studied today's course very seriously.
"Ding: Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced course and receiving the gold medal for directing..."
The pleasant prompt sound made Su Yang very excited.
Su Yang quickly checked the director's gold medal, and sure enough, the mysterious fan-attracting function appeared again.
"Director Gold Medal: Charm +10, On-Set Control +5, 1% chance of winning fans..."
The fan-collection feature has reappeared, and this time it's even more powerful. This feature is primarily targeted at director Su Yang's works. Anyone who watches Su Yang's works has a 1% chance of becoming a fan.
Looking at the gold medal, Su Yang was very excited. However, he also knew that it would be very difficult to upgrade his skills. For example, since he received the gold medal in singing, it has been very difficult to upgrade his skills. This is because after completing the advanced courses, the scope of the courses has been greatly expanded.
For example, in singing, advanced courses mostly focus on songwriting. But if you want to continue your studies, there's so much more to learn. It's like a whole new field. Furthermore, after earning the Gold Medal, you need to accumulate a repertoire of works to advance to the next level.
For example, singing courses require not only the number of songs released, but also the number of concerts held, etc. This seemed a bit of a waste of time to Su Yang. Therefore, Su Yang changed his strategy a long time ago and decided to upgrade several important courses to gold medals first.
Directing, screenwriting, acting, and singing—these four major categories. Su Yang has already won two gold medals. Next, he plans to focus on screenwriting, and finally, acting.
Human energy is limited, and Su Yang is very satisfied now. One should not be too greedy. His talent now makes many people want to slice him up for research.
"Hubby, you've become handsome again."
Qin Shuyao woke up and looked at Su Yang coming out of the bathroom. She couldn't help but say, "Hey, Su Yang, what's the use of the phone?" Then she hooked her finger and pushed Su Yang down on the bed.
"Wife, I still have to go to the set."
Su Yang said quickly.
"It's okay to go later..."
Qin Shuyao spoke softly, and slowly retreated. The next moment, Su Yang took a breath. Qin Shuyao's folk music level was getting higher and higher.
The busy days passed quickly, and "Operation Mekong" was being filmed intensively.
The movie "Those Years" finally ended its theatrical run amid much fanfare.
The final result made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ford 6" was sniped by "Those Years" in China, but even so, the box office of "Ford 6" in China reached 1.226 billion yuan.
However, this box office is obviously very poor for "Ford 6". You should know that the box office of "Ford 5" in China is as high as 2.279 billion yuan.
Now the sixth film is still a full 1 billion yuan short of the box office.
"Ford 6" did well at the box office, but "Those Years" did even more.
"Those Years", a youth film that rose to fame by riding on the coattails of several blockbusters, was invested with only 30 million yuan, but it eventually raked in a terrifying box office of 2.363 billion yuan.
Such box office figures made everyone gasp. Damn, this is abnormal, another batch of small-scale super dark horses.
The box office of "Big Shot" was already impressive. I didn't expect that "Those Years" would be even more impressive now.
Qingyao Media has made a killing this time. This is just the domestic box office. The film is now also being shown overseas and has a very good box office.
According to the current box office feedback, there will be no problem for this movie to exceed 3 billion RMB in global box office.
All in all, this movie can bring Qingyao Media pre-tax dividends of about 1.2 billion yuan.
And this movie, including the publicity costs, only made 50 million.
A twenty-four-fold return on capital profit is truly a steal.
Qingyao Media not only earned box office dividends, but also made Qin Shumo and Chen Xi famous with this movie.
This movie made the two people famous. In the past month, riding on the popularity of the movie, the two have also become idols sought after by young people.
However, these two did not do what other idols did in the past month, where they immediately participated in various programs after becoming famous.
Qingyao Media controls their exposure, but too much exposure isn't good. The most important thing is to control the right level, and whether participating in a program or accepting an advertisement, careful consideration is required.
However, the two of them still took on several big-name advertisements this month and earned a lot of money.
Qingyao Media also has plans for the future of both of them. Their work will ultimately speak for itself; that's the only way to ensure long-term success.
"'Those Years' is out of theaters, and Su Yang once again creates miracles..."
"Another batch of dark horse singles, the final box office of "Those Years" is released..."
"Once again, a miracle has been created. Su Yang's products must be top-notch..."
"A rising star in the Chinese film industry..."
Various media outlets began reporting on the event, and other film companies were envious of the success.
Damn it, why is it that Qingyao Media makes money like it's cake? But when it comes to us, why is no one buying our stuff? They think their work is pretty good, but after it's released, it doesn't do much at the box office.
For example, they have made youth films before. The cast is big enough, and they think the story is pretty good. It's really strange.
"Come on, cheers..."
A celebration banquet for "Those Years" was held in a restaurant.
A lot of people came today, all the performers and production staff were here. Su Yang raised his glass and shouted loudly, and then everyone toasted to celebrate.
"Shumo, come and distribute the red envelopes. Everyone should take one."
Su Yang said directly with a smile, Qin Shumo and Chen Xi stood up, each holding a bag and started distributing red envelopes.
A big red envelope with a thick stack of money inside. Some people secretly opened it and saw the amount inside and couldn't help but sigh that Brother Yang was generous.
Ten thousand yuan, a red envelope of ten thousand yuan for each person. This red envelope was given to everyone. This red envelope might not be important to some people, but for most of the people behind the scenes, it was still a huge amount.
Everyone was used to this. They all knew Su Yang was generous. They had sensed it when they were working together. Previously, the food and accommodations on the set weren't very good. Compared to the actors and directors, the treatment was much worse.
But in Su Yang's crew, everyone is equal. Moreover, the meals and hotels that Su Yang ordered for the crew were very good.
The salary is high, and the bonuses after the work is done are also quite generous. Now that the movie is out of theaters, they are giving out red envelopes again. Who wouldn't want to work for a boss like this? When working, you don't have to say anything, everyone will do their best to do a good job.
A celebration party officially began, and Su Yang chatted with everyone.
This red envelope was just for the general public. Besides these, some people also received even bigger red envelopes. For example, actors like Qin Shumo and Chen Xi each received a significant amount of red envelopes. After all, their pay was very low back then, and now that the movie is a huge hit, Su Yang giving out red envelopes is nothing special.
Chen Xi was the lead actress this time. When she first filmed this movie, her salary was only 500,000. This was already very high. Now, Su Yang directly gave her a red envelope of 5 million. Although Chen Xi can make money now, 5 million is still a huge sum.
Su Yang's principle is to treat people fairly. Sincerity is rewarded with sincerity. As for whether these people will be grateful, Su Yang doesn't know. What Su Yang needs to do is to have a clear conscience. As for whether they will leave Qingyao Media in the future, no one can say. After all, people always strive for higher status, and everyone has their own ideas.
